period problems again....

i feel quite frustrated right now....after having suffered from v.v.v. irregular or better say lack of periods i eventually had my spontaneous cycle 6 weeks after starting oroxine(synthyroid).this happened last month and i was so happy ......but again this month i did not have my period.its been about 5 weeks now and i feel really depressed. the other thing putting me off is my facial hair. i thought once my periods become regular it will be alright but i dont have any hope now.I am considering laser treatment now as the hair problem is affecting my social life and making me depressed.I desperately wanted to fall pregnant this year but now it sems like a distant dream.......

Hello sorry to hear about all your AF problems,you know I went through the some of the same stuff,many times we thought we were pregnant but it would be b/c of screwed up thyroid levels,I'm just now getting regular I had surgery in Oct to remove endometriosis,and for the first time in my life my cycles are actually behaving,but my levels are getting better too,best of luck to you

Hypothyroidism. Not fun. I have been diagnosed for about twenty years. The levels go up and down. They almost never level off for some of us. But the good news. You can get pregnant. I got pregnant and stayed so for almost three years. That's because I had three kids, not because...well, amyway. Be careful. Levels go up and down during pregnancy and you can easily have problems.

Make sure they know you are hypo and pregnant. The thyroid gland is like the thermostate of the body. It pretty much runs the body. Everything from the hair on your head, the amount and types of bowel movements you have, the periods you do or don't have, all the way to having in=grown toe nails. I really am not trying to scare you. I am trying to make sure you and everyone else realizes that the docs can't do the right thing if you don't tell them everything. I really do care. I don't want anyone else to go through the problems I have.
